SEATTLE - Friday marks the first anniversary of the day Washington's legal marijuana law took effect, and hundreds of people are expected to celebrate by lighting up beneath the Space Needle at a party permitted by the city of Seattle.
Marijuana activist Ben Livingston says it took him three months to persuade city officials to grant him the permit, which was amended on Thursday to double the party's capacity to 999 people. The free event begins at 4:20 p.m. in a tent set up behind a double perimeter fence at Seattle Center, with any pot smoking occurring out of public view.
Other events scheduled Friday night at the Seattle Center include the Winterfest holiday lighting celebration, a Pacific Northwest Ballet performance of the Nutcracker and a Pearl Jam concert.

I see that they legalized smoking pot in washington,
and there is gonna be a big party this weekend under
the space needle in seattle........ 999 people are gonna be there

So Terry , are you going to it tonight bro???

you better take it easy, Terry
because the pot today is a lot stronger than what was around
when we were in our 20s..... and you are not a spring chicken

My advice....just do a few puffs,
like president Clinton,, and dont inhale

They did not get a good day for this
31 degrees at 4:00 and dropping to 27 by 7:00 PM
That would be too cold for me. I don't do that stuff anyway. Being legal isn't going to affect my wine and beer consumption.
I can't see it as a good senior thing to do either I need all the brains cells I can get.
